Alby, the albino Green turtle, hatched at Castaways Beach, near Noosa in Queensland, Australia at the weekend.

Wildlife conservation volunteers discovered the pale pink creature while counting empty turtle shells in a nest on the beach.

He will face a tough struggle to survive: His distinctive coloring means he will be easy prey for larger sea creatures.

But he got off to a good start: "He was quite vigorous while walking from the nest to the ocean," Leigh Warneminde told CNN.
